COLE UNDER FIRE
Appointment of Register
Spokane Held Up.
SERIOUS CHARGE IS MADE
Cnahnian Appears an Champion, of
Ludden. and Reflects on Cole's In
tegrity Kest of Delegation An
gry at Cushman' Action.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. March 26. The appointment of a
new Receiver at the Spokane Land Of
llco Is Indefinitely held up, pending a
thorough Investigation Into charges that
havo been brought against Hal J. Cole,
recommended for the office by Senators
Ankcny and Foster and Representative
Jones.
The most serious of the charges recites
that Cole, when Indian agent at Colvllle,
Wash., was sent a sum of money some
thing over S1000 to be paid to an Indian
girl under his charge, named Mary Mag
dalene. Tho charge recites that Instead
of paying tho money to her at that time
Cple loaned tho full amount to S. C. Hyde,
taklnir notes in receipt. The department
Is advised that within the last 90 days the
girl received tho last part of tho money,
part of its having been paid to her by
Calo some vears ago, and other sums by
Hyde after the notes had been given over
ta her and by her deposited in a local
bank.
Cole, when In Washington recently, was
asked tho direct Question whether the In
dian clrl had ever been paid the full
amount duo her, and he promptly replied
that he did not know. His friends assure
Secretary Hitchcock that the girl has
been fullv reimbursed.
Nevertheless, no action wlU be taken
on tho delegation's recommendation until
Secretary Hitchcock has further Investi
gated the details of the transaction and
hs had an oDDortunltv to examine Into
other papers on file In the case. In the
meantime Register Ludden will contlnuo
In office.
Senator Foster is somewhat incensed
that Representative Cushman has taken
- a hand In this matter. He told the Sec
rctory. when he learned that Cushman
was Indorsing Ludden for retention, that
urder a mutual agreement Cushman was
only to participate in appointments in the
western part of the state, and Jones in
thoso east of the mountains. He said
Cushman was exceeding his authority In
mixing up in Spokane Land Office affairs.
When Cushman was confronted with
this he replied that the rest of the dele
gation had not hesitated to mix up In
appointments in his assigned district, and.
furthermore, he had but one appointment
under the Interior Department a. forest
ranger so ho had no hesitancy in asking
for the retention of a good man in office.

IT IS STILL A MYSTERY
(Continued from First Page.)
said, had a very kindly feeling for his
wife.
"He told me she was not well and that
he had offered to send her to Florida or
California," continued the witness, "and
that she should always have a home with
him. One reason Burdlck gave me for
not taking Mrs. Burdlck back was that
Mrs. Hull always had had the chief care
of the children and they would continue
to be under her care."
Mr. Powers said his second call upon
Burdlck was mainly regarding a business
matter.
"Do you know whether Pennell ever
made any threat against Burdlck?" asked
Mr. Coatsworth.
"No. All I know is that I have on
Impression that Pennell said to some one
that if the divorce suit was not with
drawn something would happen. I would
not care to swear that anybody ever
told me that. It Is simply an Impression
which I have."
Carol Burdlck' Story.
Carol Burdlck, the 13-year-old daughter
of the murdered man, was recalled. Re
plying to the District Attorney's ques
tions, she said she arose about 7:80 on
the morning following the murder. The
first person she saw was her grand
mother, who was going downstairs. The
latter had her skirt on. The young wit
ness said that when she came out into
the hall she heard her grandmother and
Maggie Murray talking. At first she
could not remember what they were talk
ing about, but, being questioned, said she
heard them say:
"Why, he has not been In bed all night,"
and "his den door Is closed."
Alice said:
"Why, I heard papa go downstairs a
little while ago."
The witness said It was Alice, and not
she, Carol, who said this. Asked as to
whether anybody had talked to her since
her father's death as to how he was
killed, tho witness said, "No, I do not
know how he was killed." She did not
hear that there was anything the matter
with her father until after Dr. Marcy
came. Grandma told her he was I1L She
could not recall who slept with Grandma
the night before the murder.
Attorney Hartsell objected to the Dis
trict Attorney pressing the witness and
the Court said:
"We don't care for any suggestion from
you. You are here only through courtesy.
When we think the District Attorney Is
going too far, I shall stop him. I don't
see, anyway, why you should fear to have
the witness pressed."
Mrs. Hull was recalled, and the Dis
trict Attorney pointed out that when on
the stand before she had testified that she
was in the bathroom when Maggie Mur
ray told her the den door was closed and
the kitchen window was open, while Mag
gie Murray testified that they were in
Mrs. Hull's room at the time. Witness
was sure they were not In her room at the
time. She did not remember having seen
the children that morning before she went
downstairs, nor having heard the remark,
"Why, I Just heard papa go downstairs."
Mrs. Hull reiterated tint she went to St.
John's Church on Ash Wednesday morn
ing. She usually went to the Church of
the Messiah, but once or twice dropped
in at St. John's Church. She was not on
Elmwood avenue that morning (Pennell
was seen on Elmwood avenue near the
Burdlck home that morning). Since last
on the stand she had been reminded that
on the following afternoon, the afternoon
of the night on which Burdlck was killed.

Mrs. Hull Appealed in Vain.
Witness remembered Burdlck having
iorcea nis wife to give him the key to
her letter-box. She. had never seen the
contents of the box. She knew while Mrs
Burdlck was in Atlantic City and at Nlag-
ara Falls that Pennell was there, too,
There was a lock on the den door, but
she did not know where there was a key
to it. Witness said she was not In the eel
Iar on the morning the murder was dis
covered, either before or after the dls
covery.
"What were your relations with Mr.
Pennell?" asked Attorney HubbelL
"Not any. He was a man I did not like.'
"Did you ever appeal to him to let Mrs.
Burdlck alone?"
"Yes, on two occasions. The first time
I wrote him a very earnest letter. I ap
pealed to his pride, telling lhm that any
one who had been a guest In the house
should bo above making trouble In our
home. I am sure if the man had any
heart or decency the appeal would hav
been sufficient."
Mrs. Hull testified that she wrote Pen
nell again last May.
"He sent a very cold reply," she said
"In which he said he would not be driven
out of Buffalo; that there was a better
way to settle the matter."
"Did you ever meet him after that?"
"Yes, J met him once. He tried to raise
hlB hat to me, but I looked the other
way."
"Then your feelings toward him were
those of resentment?"
"They were."
"And what were his feelings toward
you?"
"I do not know."
Mrs. Hull made a more favorable Im
pression today than she did during her
first examination. The lines of her resolute
face were relaxed. Sue gave more evi
dence of feeling, and interest, and her
voice was that of a woman who had be
come weary of it all. She looked older
and there was something venerable and
kindly in her face.
Maggie Murray, the servant, was re
called. She repeated her story that she
went upstairs to Mrs. Hull's room to tell
her about finding the kitchen window open
and the den door closed. She said she was
not downstairs when she gave Mrs. Hull
that information.
"While you were In the hall upstairs, did
Carol say, 'Why, I Just heard papa go
downstalrrf?"
"Yes, sir."
"Where was she at that time?"
"Standing in the doorway of her father's
room."
"You are sure It was Carol?"
"Yes."
The object In bringing out this testi
mony apparently was to show that some
body had been moving about the house
that morning.
"Do you know who It was Carol heard
going downstairs?"
"No, I do not."
7o Bloodstains or Drngs.
Mr. Coatsworth then read the report of
Chemist Hill on tfie examination of Bur
dlck's stomach, a golf stick and the con
tents of the bottle found on the table In
the den. The report on the contents of
the bottle was to the effect that it con
tained no trace of drugs or poisons. No
blood or any traces of blood were found
on the stick. In the stomach some alcohol
was found. In addition there were parti
cles of fat having the smell of butter.
Everything in the stomach was thoroughly
digested.

found on Burdlck's body. Mr. Coats-
worth produced the undershirt, which
Cornish Identified as the one removed
from Burdlck's body. He also identified '
the underdrawers found lying acrpss the
calves of the murdered man's legs. The
only blood stain on them was a spot
about two Inches long and an Inch wide di
rectly back of the right knee. Cornish
said he noticed what resembled bloody
finger marks on the dead man's legs.
"Did you notice the crackers, the tarts
and a piece of cheese on the table in the
den?" he was asked.
"Yes, sir."
"What do you say as to whether there
were any crumbs on the plate?"
"There were no cracker crumbs what
ever on the plate or table or on the floor.
The crackers had not been eaten In the
den."
"Did you notice whether the cocktail
glass on the table had been used?"
"I noticed that It was very sticky on the
outside. Even the stem and the base of
the glass were coated with a sticky sub
stance, as if the contents had run over."
Detective Coughlln, one of the first of
the police officials to reach the Burdlck
home after the murder, was the next wit
ness. He said that he examined Burdlck's
bedroom and found a vest on the sofa In
the bedroom. In one of the pockets was a
roll of bills containing 544. There was no
watch or any other article in the vest. It
will be remembered that Burdlck's coat
and trousers were found In his den.
"So far as we know, no other witnesses
will be called in this case." said Judge
Murphy after Detective Coughlln had been
discharged. "This closes the Burdlck in
quest." Judge Murphy said after' adourn
ment that the statement which he will
deliver, embodying his opinion on the evi
dence submitted will not be given out
until next week.
Ex-District Attorney Penny entered a
protest to Judge Murphy today against
merging the Pennell and Burdlck in
quests. It was because of this protest
that Judge Murphy, In announcing that
an official Inquiry would be made into
the Pennell tragedy, took particular pains
to state that the Pennell inquest would be
independent of the Burdlck case.
